front sprocket - identify part

[cherrybomb]

Removed front sprocket cover to clean this weekend.
Found this part trailing on what looks to be the side-stand kill switch cable?

Any ideas?!

Thanks in advance!!

it goes on one of the sprocket cover bolts (between engine and casing)

Please excuse the noob questions;
does it matter which bolt?
And what's its purpose?

[Bibio]

IIR its the front bottom bolt. it stops the cable jumping about and getting damaged.

I see. Makes sense now.
When looking at the bike, bottom left bolt (- closest to the front of the bike) of the three sprocket casing cover bolts.

Thanks again Bibio!

It's just a P Clip, similar too the ones that hold your brake lines in place on the front fender.
